Dare to create the Industry of the Future

Creating the Industry of the Future is daring to embrace the digital world and sustainably implement the Industry of the Future in your company. This has become a national ambition since the President launched the Industry of the Future project.

The manufacturing world has entered the era of virtualization and data, reflecting our daily reality.

Companies are moving toward an economy of services and usage, and customers are once again at the center of the manufacturing value chain. This revolution is based on mastering new technologies, training people, and rethinking organization models.

Entrepreneurs need to change their business models and find their place in the value-added chain. In some cases, this may entail switching their business to services, adapting their workflow to purchasing habits that have changed, etc.

From design to manufacturing, the Industry of the Future is an interconnected global system. Industry 3.0 had a vertical integration approach, with systematic process automation and machines that could not communicate. In the 4.0 world, they can “speak” to one another, and technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, and cobotics will increase the efficiency of factories.

If this is going to move to the next level, the managers of all companies in every line of business must start today.

The Industry of the Future is not optional. To be a part of this mind-blowing and game-changing revolution, all companies must ask themselves the right questions, and Smart-Industries helps you find the right answers.
